@page themes Themes

Keep track of an array of themes that are leveraged during generation to make results more cohesive.
|
|
IE, a theme might be "evil", used in generation to grab associated themes for villians.
|
|
|
|
In the villian example, "Fire" might be associated with evil and thusly fire motifs are used when deciding the armor to clad the villian in.
|
|
Another example might be "Warfare" being associated with evil and the villian thusly being generated with a warmonger past.
|
|
A third example might be "Anger" being associated with evil and the villian being generated with a personality matrix that is prone to anger.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Another way I would like to leverage this is in narrative design. While there is the generic motiff array, I want to have larger themes that plotlines can generate around.
|
|
Have a list of premade "topics" that can bend narrative templates to support them.
|
|
IE, a topic might be 'when is violence just'. This is used in a conspiracy template to construct specific examples where players have to make decisions that force them to confront this topic.
